Design a light-mode mobile app interface screen: warm terracotta clay meets playful retro realism for high-stakes standardized exam mastery.
LAYOUT
The vertical hierarchy follows an iOS single-column flow: greeting header with search and notification anchors at top, followed immediately by the dominant coral score card. Below sits the horizontal scrollable exam selector introduced by an 'Explore by Exam' section label with a 'See all' text link. The lower half features a rich product card utilizing a two-column split for purchasing controls and apparel showcase.
PALETTE (use these exact hex values)
- #FFFFFF — Canvas White: Primary screen backdrop providing maximum contrast for vibrant card containers
- #FAFAFC — Card Off-White: Subtle card background for exam selector tiles and secondary interactive modules
- #EE6B58 — Terracotta Coral: Dominant hero container fill, notification badge, and organic accent blobs
- #2F65F6 — Electric Cobalt: Primary call-to-action button fill, active tags, and SAT category highlight
- #191C21 — Charcoal Black: Headings, titles, price values, and high-emphasis textual elements
- #8E95A5 — Slate Muted: Metadata, subtext, axis years, and helper descriptions throughout
- #6FCBB5 — Mint Accent: IELTS circular exam badge and product swatch variant
- #F0F2F6 — Border Slate: Subtle hairline outlines on exam tiles and secondary interface controls
TYPOGRAPHY
Typeface Plus Jakarta Sans (or Outfit, DM Sans, Inter), weights 400/500/600/700. Sizes 11px caption, 12px body-sm, 14px body, 16px body-lg, 18px subheading, 24px heading, 36px display. Tracking -0.02em at display, 0 at body. The voice is confident, friendly, and academically rigorous without feeling archaic. Plus Jakarta Sans delivers sharp, modern geometric rhythm that keeps standardized testing approachable. For implementation, open-source Google Fonts alternatives like Outfit or Inter work seamlessly if Plus Jakarta Sans is unavailable.
GEOMETRY & SPACING
Corner radii — cards 24px, links 999px, inputs 12px, buttons 999px. Spacing on a 4px unit, 12px gaps, 24px between sections, 390px container, comfortable density.
DEPTH
Depth is created almost entirely through optical contrast and 3D skeuomorphic subject matter rather than CSS elevation. Major surfaces remain flat with ultra-subtle hairline borders (#F0F2F6). When elevation exists, it is baked into realistic renders of physical items like the typewriter and folded garment casting soft, ambient floor shadows.
IMAGERY
Imagery pairs tactile 3D product renders (vintage coral typewriter, comic-print t-shirt) with flat, minimal geometric vector shapes. All physical elements feel tangible and tangible-analog, bridging retro study tools with digital app design. Flat clip art or generic corporate vector illustrations are strictly off-brand.
SIGNATURE DETAIL — the thing that makes this design itself
The signature element is the solid terracotta coral hero card housing an isometric 3D vintage mechanical typewriter positioned above an integrated historical line chart. To implement properly, ensure the 3D model matches the exact coral-and-cream palette of the card and sits partially overlapping the data baseline. Misusing it by switching to a flat 2D icon or changing the card fill to generic blue destroys the tactile academic identity.
MUST
- Use solid terracotta coral (#EE6B58) sparingly as a massive hero canvas anchor.
- Pair photorealistic or tactile 3D retro objects with ultra-clean modern typography.
- Use fully rounded 999px pill buttons for primary and secondary actions.
- Keep exam category tiles uniformly sized with centered 40px circular badges.
AVOID
- Never apply harsh black drop shadows; rely on flat pastel contrasts and subtle borders.
- Do not crowd the hero card with more than two major numerical metrics.
- Never use serif fonts for display data or metric counters.
- Avoid sharp 0px or 4px square corners anywhere on cards or buttons.
